(PSN)Arkel-99 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I just got the blueprint which costs 5 Nitain Extract I can kinda understand the 5 Nitain for the blueprint. The chassis of Vauban Prime however is just ridiculous. A friend of mine sent me a picture of it, the costs are the following: 14.000 Oxium 13.000 Alloy Plate 2 Argon Crystal 5 Nitain Extract What was DE even thinking..? Edit: Vauban Prime will also cost 20 Nitain Extract in total so have fun looking 24/7 at your screen waiting for an Nitain alert to pop up :) DE Reply: 1 hour ago, [DE]Danielle said: Hey Tenno! We are adjusting Vauban Prime’s Chassis Oxium requirement from 14,000 to 7,000. We’re hoping that in halving the requirements you’ll have an easier time crafting our friendly neighborhood engineer. As always thank you for voicing your concerns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorgal_Sina Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Crap, that's more than Zephyr parts all combined! Considering that we get the average of two Oxium per Oxium Osprey kill, that's 7,000 kills right there. Edited May 18, 2016 by Rorgal_Sina Sorry guys, wrong information. It appears I may have caused some unnecessary salt too. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't confirm since I haven't seen a picture of it but it could very well be true by just looking at how much the other parts costs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDeadsinxX Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I honestly think the 5 nitan extract is fine. I don't know what your complaining about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpgil_galad Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Wow . . . just, wow. Fun fact, 14,000 Oxium is more than the amount of Oxium required to build EVERY other recipe currently in the game, combined (13,450 according to the warframe resource costs spreadsheet on Google Docs). I sure hope there's an errant zero in there....1,400 would sound reasonable; 14,000 is just bonkers. Edited May 17, 2016 by jpgil_galad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahcruna Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) From what I remember, they said they wanted to somehow fix it so that the Prime wasn't easier to get than the normal version of the frame (random Alerts) I guess this is one way. ___________________________________________________ There was a hole here, now it's gone.

(PSN)jordan361999 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I have gotten so far the Bp that requieres 5 nitain. Chassis is 5 nitain and 14k OXIUM... and 2 argon crystals. This is ridiculous just for a prime version of a warframe that i alredy have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)SupeBoss Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Wowzers. I knew it'd be high, but I thought it would just mostly be nitain and argon. (Predicted 20 nitain and 15 argon - enough to make you roll your eyes, but...it's the RNG nightmare Vauban....now, as a prime, so i get it) the Oxium though? if 14,000 is correct, then LOL. I remember when they said that the sibear needed all of that Cryotic to "use up" the excess resource (because, you know, that 2% of the playerbase that farms fusion cores all day had a lot of it...so umm yeah....justified). According to their own market prices, 300 Oxium costs 30p. That's 1400p worth of Oxium for a resource to craft a part that is used to craft a Frame. YIKES. Yep, glad I bought PA.

Vox_Preliator Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Well, I suppose it makes sense thematically for Vauban, the Alert Frame, to require a bunch of the Alert Resource. I don't think it's too absurd, I'd have tons of Nitain by now if I had cared to do the alerts when they were there. Not gonna defend the Oxium, though.

salubri Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 more likely was the trade off, for not being an alert frame, and i tough they learned after the uproar on the sybear and cryotic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLI7Z Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Just farm it. The nitain in a short time you can get it. And Oxium you can get like 1k per mission if you know where to go and what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

--RV--ohestnes Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 14k Oxium?? I hope that is a joke. Wasn't the previous record holder for most oxium required the Grattler at 3.5k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuyver Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) 14k oxium isn't that bad, you could net 2-3k+ per four rounds on Cerberus, Pluto with proper squad . There are other nodes to play on besides draco after all. Edited May 17, 2016 by TheGuyverOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
